If Journey covered Departure songs (or vice versa)

[Jonny B]

As far as small-name rock bands go, one of my favorites is Departure. I swear it was their dream to be a Journey clone. They name themselves after a Journey album, they find a Steve Perry-esk singer, and they write up some great tunes that could rival the band they idolize.

For this topic (and I apoligize if it's been done before. I don't usually check this board,) my question is, if Journey was listening to Departure for the first time and chose to cover a couple of their tracks, which ones would they most likely cover? What if it were the other way around, if Departure were to choose a couple Journey tracks to cover?

Here's my take:

For Journey, I feel that they could cover 'Sacrifice,' from the Corporate Wheel album. Or maybe the ballad 'You Were Mine' from the Open Your Mind album. Journey could easily turn these two tracks into hits if they wanted to.

If Departure were doing the covering, it wouldn't surprise me if they chose something from the Departure album. Most likely 'Where Were You' or 'Anyway You Want It.' But any song would sound great.

(if you haven't heard Departure yet, check them out. A must for Journey fans.)
